Fun with the Family and ABC tag

*I spent time with Bug going through his summer clothes and realizing,,,this boy better stop growing!!!

*spent time with the girls and their lack of summer clothes.

*fixed something yummy for lunch.

*admired gorgeous chalk art that was done.

(didn't get a picture of the finished masterpieces before it rained!!!Darn!!!)

*Played this game.....eight hundred and fifty-one times!!! I only won once...SAD!!!

*rocked Ashie

*cut Bug's hair

*bean bag war...this is daily...thanks once again, Michelle!

Nothing fancy...just relaxing, and hangin' out with my munchkins.

When Hunter Dan got home...we had to run a quick errand. Afterwords we went to the video store and rented these...

CLASSIC!!!!!...and

We then took the kids to the grocery store to have $4.00 dinner night. My brother and his family started this, and we have done it a couple times too...not very often though!!!.....each family member gets four dollars to buy what they want for dinner...or in our case "our family movie night"meal...can I just say... we spent over an hour in that store!! Too funny watching the kids figure out the perfect dinner!note...this is fun...not necessarily healthy!!:-)

We then had a picnic in my bedroom, and watched our movies. Where the Red Fern Grows....not the original, but so cute. I cried and cried, yes I am a baby!!!! I didn't cry for the dogs dying, but for how heart-broken "Billy" was.(ya just look at things differently when you are a mom) Freaky Friday...funny and the kids loved watching all the "oldness" from this one. They laughed really hard!

It was a FUN day...

Have a great Saturday everyone...Hopefully Bug's soccer game won't be rained out!!

I think it was a fabulous idea to spend the day with your children like that. I was thinking yesterday that I need to spend more one on one time with my girls.Love the $4 dinner night. What a hoot to see what they picked. Cute!

Our version of the game is called The Dinner Game. We have 7 people so we create 7 courses, ie. appetizer, side, main, beverage, dessert, side, appetizer. We put those on little papers and into a hat. Then 7 money amounts on little papers, 1.00, 1.50, 2.00, 2.50, 3.00, 3.50, 4.00 into a hat. Each person draws one from each hat. You now have your part of the meal and the amount of money you must spend. The person going the farthest over or under their money amount has to do the dishes. This is a total blast and usually a very unhealthy meal. Long comment... fun game!

I'll echo the other comments' praise of the $4 dinner idea! How cool is that!? Am sooooo swiping that idea!Love the original Freaky Friday. I never saw the movie, cried each time I read Where the Red Fern Grows.

What a great day!! I love days spent with the family...we have movie nights, too...love, love, love Where the Red Fern Grows (this version w/ my absolute favorite man, Dave Matthews)!! Have you guys watched Because of Winn Dixie (love it!!)...enjoy the rest of your weekend :)
